There are many different animals in Minecraft.
They can be divided into aggressive, passive and neutral (those that will attack if provoked).
Some animals can be tamed and bred.
Keep in mind, however, that any creatures available in Minecraft can receive damage.
The animals are also vulnerable to explosions and fall damage.
Remember that some animals drop valuable items upon death.
